KOgle's 180 diary

Built my 180 into the wall

With the help of a few strong backs I built my 180 into the wall. It's still a work in progress but I'll show off some pics anyhow...

 

Suuuuure you will So, is Scott lusting after your tank yet?

 

Hey good to hear from you! I'm trying to talk Scott into setting something more simple up like a fish only... He is thinking about going back to fresh water. Either way I hope he sets it back up. It was a beautiful set up and the biggest motivator for me to go in wall with a dedicated fish room...

How is Roger and the little one doing?

 

They're doing great. Atticus keeps Roger on his toes since he's home with him all day so when I get home, it's all me when it comes to keeping the baby entertained

 

I posted some pics last night but they aren't here...

I'll try again.

 

ok that worked. I'll try a few more. The last picture was the basic framing and the base of the new tank stand being attached to the concrete.

Here are a few more of the new stand

 

I took Otty's advice and built the new stand higher so you don't have to bend over to look at the tank. A few more pictures of the drywall and stand.

 

You have been busy KOgle

looking good so far

Steve

 

Thanks Steve!. It kept me pretty busy for about 5 weeks but it's been well worth it. Even better, the wife loves it. ;D

Here are a few more pictures. I set up a saltwater mixing tank that is gravity fed so along with the auto top off I should never have to pick up another bucket of saltwater for a water change.

The second picture is the old sump fuge mess.

 

Great to hear! So has Roger set him up a tank yet? ;D

I was telling Scott while we were moving the tank, I'd like to ride out and see you guys this spring or summer.
